There is a monster SCO filing in the bankruptcy, 531 pages, I'm told, a Notice of Cure Amounts in Connection with the Assumption and Assignment of Unexpired Leases and Executory Contracts [PDF] and then a 7-part exhibit. SCO proposes to transfer everything on this list to unXis "free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and interests upon satisfaction of the cure amounts...

Another 100 or so pages of lists of contracts and leases, quite a few from last century, SCO's Exhibit A continued, attached to SCO's Notice to Cure...

HP has now joined the growing group of companies reserving its rights in the SCO bankrupty regarding SCO's Notice of Cure Amounts in connection with SCO's hoped-for sale of its assets. But its reason is different: it can't find all the contracts SCO says it has with HP, and neither can SCO.

Now it's Hewlett-Packard that has answered the call from the bankruptcy court and filed a notice of its interest in SCO's bankruptcy

Here's SCO's response [PDF] to IBM and Novell's Objections to SCO's proposed sale to unXis and Novell's opposition to SCO's Notice of Cure, as text. The most interesting detail is that Darl McBride admits, or should I say claims, that he paid Stephen Norris $100,000 out of Darl's personal funds for Mr. Norris' efforts to "put together a group of investors".

Lots of bankruptcy filings, including a reply by SUSE in support of its motion for relief from the automatic stay and Chapter 11 Trustee Edward Cahn has filed an Objection to Al Petrofsky's motion to compel him to comply with reporting requirements. And Ocean Park Advisors has filed an Amended Exhibit A. But that isn't the big news.

There is a bankruptcy hearing scheduled for November 20th, and there's a Notice of Matters Scheduled for Hearing [PDF] just filed that tells us that the issue of the constructive trust has been resolved "in principal" and there will be a stipulation or consensual order filed. Good Golly, Miss Molly. Is Novell finally going to see some of its money from SCO?

The judge in the SCO bankruptcy has denied [PDF] SCO's motion to extend exclusivity. Surprise, surprise.

And SCO has finally filed its monthly operating reports for March.
